Dear Abby: We’ve seen our co-worker’s mansion but she won’t invite us over Plus: My boyfriend’s dangly key ring has become a problem. One of our co-workers doesn’t want to be a closer friend even though at work we say we love each other. We want to take the friendship to a deeper level, but she hesitates when we try to hang out outside of work. Dear Abby: I’d barely moved in when this debris got thrown into my yardDear Abby: If I can’t see the baby, then I want my money backShe has a mansion that many people in our office have seen, but she hasn’t invited us over. She’ll only go to the movies with us. We are worried it is because, in a movie theater, we can’t talk to her. : You are coming on way too strong. There are work relationships and personal relationships. They are not always interchangeable. The woman may “love” working with you. But to assume that it’s OK to pressure her into inviting you to her home or to grill her about her personal life is wrong.: My boyfriend carries his keys and several metal accessories on a carabiner, which is always clipped to his belt loop. He lives in my home and is a frequent passenger in my car. I have noticed that his key clip and the dangling items are damaging the paint on my car and door frames at the house as he exits and enters. I have asked him to please remove the clip or make another arrangement for his keys, and although he says he’s “working on the problem,” nothing changes.: Only this. It seems that your irresponsible boyfriend lacks respect for other people’s property or he would have dealt with this promptly. Estimate the cost of refinishing your car and door frames, and then offer him the opportunity to settle up what he owes you, or tell him it’s time to move.My wife and I are disgusted by something we have never before encountered. Our ex-daughter-in-law recently told our 16-year-old grandson she kicked her latest boyfriend out because he would not have sex with her. Our grandson was very upset . Isn’t this considered some sort of abuse?Miss Manners: Am I being too dramatic about my fiance’s off-putting friend?Asking Eric: Since I found the pictures of my wife, a new worry is gnawing at me Our grandson and his brother haven’t lived with their mother for the last five years because they were tired of her smoking, drinking and revolving door of boyfriends. They live happily with their father and have little to do with their mother.: Your grandson is a teenager; he isn’t 8. That his mother would say what she did to him is surprising, but it wasn’t “abuse.” Could she have been tipsy when she said it? Fortunately, your grandson no longer lives under her roof and has a father with better judgment. Count your blessings and let this pass.
